March 5, 2014 – Since first becoming popular through the efforts of the Gracie family in America, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu’s popularity has grown exponentially. As the sport gets bigger it is also becoming better organized for the benefit of all those who have fallen in love with the gentle art.  The International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Women’s Federation (IBJJWF) is an organization that was recently formed to help improve the female side of BJJ.

The IBJJWF is an international organization with offices in Los Angeles, Rio de Janeiro and Miami that have the simple mission of making female BJJ bigger and better for all to enjoy. We caught up with Luciana Bassoli, one of the organization’s founders, to find out more about the IBJJWF.
Bassoli, who is a 4th degree black belt in BJJ under Joe Moreira and a 2nd degree black belt in Judo has a vision to take women’s BJJ to the next level, and has enlisted the help of people throughout the country, and globe, including Texas’s own Georgette Oden to get the IBJJWF there. Here is what she had to say to us.
